Answer 1

Answer:

Option A

Annette picked  50 roses  from the garden

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us understand the problem, designating letters to represent unknown quantities.

Let the total number of roses = x

20% of the roses were red means that 20% of x = red

Since the number of red roses = 10,

we will have that 20% of x = 10

mathematically, we will have

$\frac{20}{100} \times x = 10\\x= \frac{1000}{20}= 50$

hence, Annette picked  50 roses  from the garden
